Los Angeles: Actress Brie Larson is expected to headline a biopic about Victoria Woodhull, the first female presidential candidate in the US history.

Woodhull is a suffragist advocating women's rights including to vote and have the freedom to marry, divorce, and bear children without government interference. She ran for President of the United States in 1872, reported Ace Showbiz.

Along with her sister, the activist became the first woman to operate a brokerage firm on Wall Street.

They were also the first females to found a newspaper, Woodhull & Claflin's Weekly, which began publication in 1870.

Larson became a critic darling for her role in "Room". She has just released a new movie "Kong: Skull Island". Her next movies include Marvel's first female superhero film "Captain Marvel".
